Detecting Motion with Motion Sensor I

[j.rieff]

I have a set of Motion Senor I and Motion Sensor II installed. In understand there were some API issues with the Motion Sensor II so some features not available. 

When either of the Motion Sensor are integrated with a Switch using a Scene everything works great. 

The problem I am having is when I use the features of the Motion Sensor I in a program.

The following is a snippet of a program:

     If

           Status 'Ceiling Motion-Sensor' is On

     Then

           Set Scene 'Garage Ceiling Lights' On

 

Basically, the program never sees the Sensor part of Motion Sensor I is activated even though you can see the Sensor go to On in the Device Dashboard. 

 

Any suggestions or thoughts?

 

 

I have a similar question pertaining to the Dusk-Dawn Sensor portion of the Motion Sensor I. I would like to turn on interior lights when the light level gets to a point when the Dusk-Dawn Sensor activates or goes On.

From another retiree,

I use a similar program to control my under bed lights.

If(Status 'Bedroom / Bedroom Motion-Sensor" is On

   And From 10:30 PM

          To        Sunrise (next day)

Then

        Set 'Bedroom / Under Bed Lites' Fast On

         Wait     5 Minutes

         Set 'Bedroom / Under Bed Lites' Off

Else

         Wait 5 Minutes

         Set 'Bedroom / Under Bed Lites' Off

 

Why "Fast On"?  I want the lights to come on instantly when it senses motion, and then gradually dim out over a 3 minute period.

 

I use exactly the same program with an MS2 Sensor.  Both work flawlessly.
